Seven devotees going to Kundeshwar temple die after vehicle veers off road, falls in gorge

Police said the accident took place at about 1:30pm (X/ANI) Deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Shivaji Pawar said the devotees from Faplawadi village were en route to the temple when the vehicle veered off the road.

'Seven people have been reported to have died while others are undergoing treatment,' Pawar, who is attached to the Pimpri Chinchwad police commissionerate, said. Preliminary inquiries by the police suggest the driver lost control of the vehicle, which was carrying far more people than its capacity, while navigating the hilly terrain.
